As one of the few guides specific to Canadian renters, Avery's fills an information gap and is a solid overall choice for anyone interested in Canadian housing options. The Wealthy Renter: How to Choose Housing That Will Make You Rich fue escrito por Alex Avery y publicado por Dundurn. His friendly tone helps to make the book more readable. The book is sometimes repetitive, but Avery skillfully conveys his subject matter in an interesting and easily digestible manner, a laudable achievement given the sometimes complicated nature of the real estate and investment world. For this group, the market barriers could be a form of salvation from the too-great financial commitment of buying a house. Finally, he argues that informed renters can easily end up in better financial condition than homeowners. Avery’s wealthy renter argument holds out financial hope for the tens of thousands of young, low-to-middle-income Canadians who have been priced out of home ownership. He then gets into the nitty-gritty of the Canadian housing market and breaks down not only how it works but why buying a house may not be as sustainable and certain an investment as it once was. ![]() Avery begins by explaining that "rent" is something that all homeowners pay as well, even if it is not called "rent" per se.

He aims to demonstrate that, especially in today's housing market, owning may not be the best option for many Canadians. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, the Lawyer considers him to be a good worker as Bartleby “might snatch it and proceed to business without the least delay” (Melville n.

Imagine being one of the participants, enjoying a nice meal, and then discovering this reality. But beneath what is visible lurked the reality of germs everywhere. It is easy to ignore or to downplay what we may not readily see. Just because germs might be invisible to the naked eye does not mean that they simply do not exist.
